Comment # 2 on bug 11007 from 
How useful is this field actually? When a TCP segment contains multiple PDUs,
then the contents of this field will be smaller.

With patchset 2 from 7602 applied, a capture containing WebSockets over TLS
shows the size of the WebSocket protocol (excluding the TLS record headers).

The former could be considered a "feature" (but it spoils the tree with lots of
lines when opening a capture such as the one from bug 10989). The latter is
inconsistent with the name of the label. Now, tcp_dissect_pdus should probably
be renamed and made more generic for use with other dissectors, but for now
this field should be limited to protocols directly under TCP imo.
